Benin – sports betting & bookmakers

Long keen on horse racing, the Beninese are gradually discovering the world of online sports betting. Internet access is very limited in the country, so there are still very few of them, but international bookmakers are happy to let them benefit from the winnings. Here’s a closer look at the world of online betting in Benin.

Betting legislation in Benin

Gambling has been legal in Benin for around two decades. Horse racing at Pari Mutuel Urbain branches attracts large numbers of punters. On the other hand, gambling on the Internet is not yet regulated by a specific authority, but the laws in force authorise it.

To date, only one land-based casino is officially licensed in the country. It belongs to the Benin Marina Hotel in the capital Cotonou. This gaming house offers several poker rooms and slot machines. There are also several XOF casinos throughout the country. The main restriction imposed on players concerns their age. Young people under the age of 18 are not allowed to gamble.
